The Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 is not your average convertible laptop. It’s one you can drop in the mud, drive a car over, clobber whoever is trying to steal it from you over the head with, and generally use in circumstances where most computers would give up the ghost (in the machine). Welcome to the ruggedized laptop.

Pros

Tough as nails

Incredibly versatile

Excellent connectivity

Powerful ‘laptop’ specs

Superb battery life

Cons

Low screen res and terrible viewing angles

Weighty and chunky

Convertible laptop/tablet with swivel screen

Fully rugged: weatherproof, dustproof, drop-proof

Throughout it all the CF-19 just kept on working – no drying time, no down-time, no interruption in the workflow. It’s not like we needed confirmation that this rugged laptop is as tough as its name implies, but it’s good to see that it’s still as durable and weatherproof as ever.
